Another couple of thoughts about this approach: there's an old saying that the best fertilizer is the farmer's shadow; as you go through making this weed control pass, you're also, simultaneously, reviewing the condition of all of your intended plantings.
@@zachelfers1360 I’ll check it out! He is an enigma to me. Obviously lots of cool information and ideas but sometimes surprisingly reductionist. You’re referring to cutting the fast growing weeds to benefit the crop rather than pulling them?
also alot of pushing his own products and very little, if any, practical information. Graeme Sait on the other hand divulges a bunch of useful information for free. Kempf's recent podcast talking about his conversation with Christine Jones leaves you thinking how much better a podcast with just Christine Jones would be..
@@carlybasinger7396 i planted the tithonia for the K availablization and it does more of that if you cut off flowers for a while - kind of like how if you keep harvesting more tomatoes the plant pulls up more nutrients. Except here you then chop the plant down at the end of the year and the K is now available for the perennials next year. But don’t worry there were thousands of beautiful flowers in here all summer :)
